The white moonlight is my vest

Back in time to when Florian had just gone to bed.

"By the way, this king has never asked you." Gilgamesh gently shook the golden wine glass containing the fine wine, and seemingly unintentionally mentioned, "Where have you been all these years? What have you been doing? "

Gilgamesh sipped the wine and sat on the soft couch.He just has the ability to make the most ordinary couch feel like a high-end sofa.Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes and said with a hint of warning:

"You should know the consequences of deceiving the king, right?"

The same pair of red eyes, on Gilgamesh's face is synonymous with danger, but on Florian's face, they are much more peaceful.Florian thought about it seriously for a while, and unconsciously grasped the deep folds of the quilt with his fingers.

"Sleep after waking up, because no one chats, so I can sleep for a long time at a time." Florian is not very good at telling stories, and said dryly, "...It's just boring, I only sleep every day, and sleep will be better .”

Gilgamesh was sure he wasn't lying.

"Then how did you meet Shang Ye of the Chanyuan—and how did he make you angry?"

Florian: "It seems that one day, I heard the call of 'God'." When mentioning "God", Florian secretly glanced at Gilgamesh, and found that he had already hung on his lips. sneer.

"The four players who participated in the 'game' were called by it at the same time, and then I was taken to a very strange place... I met Shangya Zenyuan there. There, he announced the start time of the 'game' , and we were sent back."

After Florian stammered, he asked Gilgamesh, "I want to live, Gil, are you really willing to help me?"

Gilgamesh looked at Florian blankly.

Gilgamesh was not Florian's Heroic Spirit in the first place.

As an Archer, he was summoned by Tosaka Tokiomi, the patriarch of the Tosaka family, who was originally his master.And Florian just came here with Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel, and he didn't even have the qualifications to summon heroic spirits or participate in the Holy Grail War.

However, Tohsaka Tokiomi, as the master, really made Gilgamesh extremely dissatisfied.

But one night, Florian found Gilgamesh, stood in front of him, and told him his wish seriously.

"I want to live, so I want to get the Holy Grail and realize the family's long-cherished wish 'Third Law'. Only in this way can I continue to live." It didn't take long, "Tohsaka Tokiomi is deceiving you, King of Heroes, he just uses you as a weapon, which insults the dignity of your king."

If Florian had done anything, he hadn't.He just told Gilgamesh all his trump cards, ideas, and information. Gilgamesh originally wanted to turn around and leave, and entrust the matter of Tohsaka Tokiomi to his student Kotomine Kirei.

Isn't it fun for a student to backstab a teacher?

But compared to this, Gilgamesh also wants to see how far Florian can go, this artificial human who is naturally indifferent but has a strong desire to live.

He is looking forward to whether this artificial man can bring him unexpected surprises.

It was easy for Gilgamesh to betray him, and Florian was indeed more in his favor than Tohsaka Tokiomi.They experienced the Holy Grail War together. In fact, if you count carefully, the time is not long, only eight days.

Later Gilgamesh knew that Florian's lines that night were all written down in advance, let Irisviel and Emiya Kiritsugu polish them, and then recite them for him.This is another story.

The wine in the cup was drunk by Gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh glanced at him.

"Since you are a subject of this king, and you are very respectful to this king, you treat this king as your king..."

Igarashi Feng: Wait a minute, stop?

According to Florian's character that can choke someone to death with three sentences, say he respects you?

... To be honest, this filter is a bit too heavy.

Gilgamesh continued to announce: "This king will grant your wish, but that kind of trivial matter-you don't have to trouble this king." He glanced at the clock, the artificial man of the Einzbern family It takes a long time to sleep to ensure free activities the next day, not to mention that Florian suffered such a serious injury today, he needs to rest after all.

"I'm going to bed then, good night, Jill."

Florian understood what Gilgamesh meant, and immediately stuffed herself under the quilt, obediently closing her eyes.

Gilgamesh didn't feel sleepy, but he thought of the dream he had just last night.The black mud was turbulent like the sea, and it rushed towards Florian. Florian closed his eyes and allowed himself to sink into the black mud.The black mud bubbled a few times, and then faded away quietly, leaving only the land eroded by them.

As for Florian?

No trace was left.

That being the case, will he dream of Florian's past again tonight?

Gilgamesh was dreaming.

There is a special connection between the heroic spirit and the master. Some masters will dream about the past of the heroic spirit, but it is reversed when it comes to Gilgamesh.

The dream this time seems to be Florian's past in the Holy Grail.

Contrary to the black mud on the outside, the inside of the Holy Grail is pure white.The cyborg with white hair and red eyes didn't even look back at the door leading to the outside world, and let the door close.He squatted down slowly, hugging his knees.

The gate closed and he was alone.

Florian's way of passing the time was to sleep, but there were times when he couldn't sleep.Florian couldn't find anyone to talk to, so he would talk to himself in the air, so that he would not forget the language.If it goes on like this, it's actually okay, after all, the magic power in the Holy Grail is enough to keep Florian alive.

But the good times didn't last long. One day, some black mud suddenly appeared in the Holy Grail.It was just a little bit at first, and more and more, wherever Florian went, the black mud would follow.They were like evil spirits, as if they regarded Florian as their only toy, teasing him recklessly, laughing when he was most embarrassed.

In the end, the Holy Grail was filled with black mud.

Florian sank into the black mud again.

The magic in the Holy Grail has not disappeared, and Florian is still able to survive.But the black mud eroded him day and night, and sometimes Florian didn't even have his own consciousness at all, and all he could smell was blood.Such days, compared with before, will be too long.

There is no hope at all, let alone a future.

But Florian didn't want to die.

People always have to find the motivation to support themselves.

So, Florian murmured vaguely all day long: "...I am not afraid of pain, I am not afraid of pain anymore."

It seemed that as long as he said this sentence, he would no longer feel the black mud slowly corroding him.

The dream came to an abrupt end, and Gilgamesh opened his eyes.

The King of Heroes remembered Florian's every move during the day, and stood by Florian's bed to watch him.

Gilgamesh was extremely arrogant and rarely considered the feelings of those around him.But he thought of the time when Florian stood unsteadily and complained "it hurts" to him after the battle with Chanyuan Shangya.

Gilgamesh's fingers touched Florian's face.

All vests have a special debuff. For example, Tsushima Onuki's debuff is "sickness". He will get sick when he gets the chance, but he will hang his last breath.Zenyuan Shangya’s debuff is "countdown", which is related to the special situation of Igarashi Kaede going offline at that time. After all, Zenyuan Shangya at that time, if he did not choose the correct option within the limited time and received help from the outside... he would indeed die .

Florian is no exception.

"parasitic."

Igarashi Feng read out the name of Florian debuff, and slowly frowned: "Because of the long-term influence of 'All the Evils in This World' in the Holy Grail, vest 'Florian von Einzbe Lun' itself is a small holy grail that serves as a sacrifice, and part of the consciousness of "all the evils of this world" will be parasitic in the body of the vest. If it is affected by external forces, this consciousness may occupy the body of the vest."

"……What is this stuff?"

Igarashi Feng complained: "So Tsushima Onuki's body will be forcibly offline, and the life of Chanyuan Shangya is counting down, and there are dirty things coming to snatch Florian's body? Are you reliable in doing things?"

system:"……"

When there is homework for it to write, it calls baby, and when there is no homework, it has this attitude.

Igarashi Feng: "So, will this consciousness really steal Florian's body?"

"Host, the debuff introduction has made it very clear, it is possible, but not certain," the system said at a glance, "In this regard, the system cannot help you. After all, it still depends on your personal luck as the host. "

To sum up, look at the face.

Igarashi Feng: "... So tell me, what role can you play? You won't even open this kind of back door for me? If Florian's body is real, I mean just in case, after all, who There will always be times of bad luck, so can his body be snatched back?"

The system was silent for a moment: "...Maybe?"

"..." It would be great if the system had an entity, Igarashi Feng thought regretfully, "So this debuff is just a matter of luck?" Then I have to prepare a few more scripts for Florian's vest, Otherwise it may not be enough.

Who can say clearly about luck.

"Wait a minute, external force?"

Igarashi Feng came to his senses: "Then the fight between Chanyuan Shang and Florian today is considered an external force, right?"

After all, it is not difficult to understand the principle of taking advantage of a void.Sure enough, in the next second, Igarashi Kaede clearly felt the strangeness of the body belonging to the vest "Florian", and this appearance of Florian was obviously seen by Gilgamesh.

Time goes back to the present.

"... Jill."

Florian was obviously in great pain, his face was pale, his limbs were trembling, and his lips were bleeding from his bite.It is extremely difficult for him to speak rationally now, his voice is intermittent, as if he will lose his breath in the next second.

"Help me find someone..." Florian tried to speak clearly, "Shen Lu Che. Help me find him. He is the last player... He has a way."

Tokyo.High school of spells.

Gojo Satoru stared at the back of Tsukika Zen Monastery Shangya unkindly: "You want to leave?"

"Well, I have to find someone, and I can't let them take the initiative any longer," Chanyuan Shang also turned back, "I have to find Shenlu Che."

Yokohama, Armed Detective Agency.

Edogawa Rampo announced the main tasks of the next members of the detective agency.

"We have to find a fourth player," he said.
